The CDC and DHS have invoked Title 42 to restrict entry for non-U.S. passport holders who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the past 21 days. The measure is in effect for 30 days as the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak continues to spread in the region.
CDC Official Statement & Title 42 Order
The sudden deployment of a Title 42 border ban tells you exactly how terrified Washington is. They are shutting down entry for non-citizens from three African nations because they know this Bundibugyo strain has a 21 day incubation period. That is a massive window for an asymptomatic carrier to clear standard airport screeners and land in an American city. With the Africa CDC chief openly admitting he is in “panic mode” over zero available vaccines or treatments for this specific mutation, the establishment is relying on brute-force travel blocks to keep the homeland safe.
